SUMMARY:Bridging DOD Funded Work to Commercial Markets
DESCRIPTION:The DOD is focused on technology to enable the warfighter and uses the SBIR/STTR program to find new and promising research that will create products and services that give us the edge on the battlefield. But often there are other markets that can benefit from the technology with modifications to address their specific requirements. These commercial opportunities can dwarf the military one as small businesses pivot from military to civilian requirements. Learn how to discover these parallel markets\, make the connections\, and start the conversations that can lead to significant revenue for the small business.

SUMMARY:SBIR Commercialization for Scientists & Engineers
DESCRIPTION:Scientists and Engineers — we love them\, they are singularly focused and love their laboratories and simulation tools. Furthermore\, Scientists and Engineers are the traditional Principal Investigators on SBIR/STTR projects as the technical challenges being addressed in SBIR/STTR are often daunting. But in the end\, solving the technical challenge does not bring revenue to the company or increase the GNP of the United States—goals of the SBIR/STTR program. Join us to discuss how revenue generation and commercialization join the list of desired outcomes of the project in a conversation that will interest the scientist/engineer. \n  \nPresented by: Randy Simpson\, TechOpp Consulting
